Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 27437614 Portugal 11/10/2012 04:57 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Hurricane Sandy wreaked havoc on New York City's subway system. Pumping all that water out of the flooded East River tunnels was only the beginning. Subway equipment across lines everywhere have been brutalized by salt water damage. Now the MTA has posted a bunch of photos on Flickr that show what the damage looks like. Read more: [link to www.businessinsider.com] |

Bur whats really amazing: there hasn't been one rat story yet. Did the poor rats drown? Or did they take the warning seriously and move to Philly? Last Edited by Mr. Toppit on 11/10/2012 07:06 AM |

This indicates that they are NEMA 12X electrical enclosures. NEMA 12X enclosures are rated for submersion in water. If the maintenance guys were doing their jobs and keeping the cabinets securely close. And used the proper cord grips sealing the cables going into the cabinets. The damage would have been significantly less. |

Why they didn't power it all down as the storm surge began to flood the tunnels? |

Nah... salt water heals. Best way to clean and heal a cut is to bathe it in salt water or go swimming in the ocean. Heals triple-quick time. Salt water swished in your mouth (organic sea salt, not table salt with additives) cures cavities and gum problems and even acts as a first line of defense against viruses entering through your mouth. My grand-father gargled with salt water every day and he never once had a cold in his entire life. That's a fact. I can't gargle (no tonsils) but I swish and I haven't had to go to the dentist for years. Yes, salt water does a number on metal but it is one of the main healers for humans. |

A lot of old timers gargle and rinse with baking soda and warm water. It works against plaque, heals any injuries, freshens breath just as good as mouthwash, whitens teeth. |

Why they didn't power it all down as the storm surge began to flood the tunnels? Because then they wouldn't get it replaced by FEMA and federal tax dollars! This way, blaming their old obsolete equipment on Sandy, we all get to pay for replacement. One of the most important aspects of conspiracy theories is being able to discern when there isn't one. Oh yeah, like you'd understand anyway. Where are we going and why am I in this handbasket?. . .J. Handy |
